In 1-3yrs lead in time for the movie if they had of used some planning....... they could of got maybe some black americans trained ( since everyone on this forum claims there are none in the USA it seems) to fly mustangs.

Quite simple. Uprate some pilots.

Oh dear ...guess you cant see that can you?

Care to show where i suggest NON pilots should be trained to fly such Mustang aircraft?

Your making that statement up now fella.

Most pilots last time i looked require licesnes and ratings. Did that slip your mind?


Yeah, they could spend thousands and thousands of the films budget to do that, or they could buy a few masks.

All this started by someone who argued last year that the use of the term Japanese was not offensive? WOW.

I presume you meant the 3 letter abreviation for Japanese, Shoki? It's automatically converted now.

And yes, I see he's arguing the other side of the coin this year, too!:roll:

Not to get too off topic here, if that's possible, but I never saw the abbreviation as an insult..unless it was
accompanied by a slur...however, times change. I'm Irish, German, French and Scot...but not thin skinned. :wink:

I lived in Japan for six years I would'nt say it in a public place. A deregotary term is the preception of the person on the receiving end not the user.

If flyingheritage is so worried about this, he could go buy the necessary warbirds, and find and train the correct pilots/actors to represent the original fighter pilot's. Heck, if he does that, I'll mantain them for free.

Remember though, they'll have to join the Screen Actors Guild to be legal.

Are you kidding me? Obviously there is a total lack of experiance and knowledge within the premise of this whole thread.......Why in the world would any of us let a total stranger fly our airplanes? Seriously, we should allow some wanna be "actor fighter pilot guy" to get a quick check out and then give him our P-40 just so movie viewers and reviewers can call the movie a little more authintic to the viewing audience? It takes passion to earn the right to fly these fighters....flying them is real life, not a movie .You seem to advocate taking short cuts in the learning process in order make a film...that's the kind of thinking that gets people killed.

This is by far the most ridiculous position I've seen a person take on this board.
